# Hide blog posts

Hiding blog posts allows you to create exclusive content for approved wholesale customers. Unauthorized visitors won't be able to view blog posts with the restriction tag.

### Where blog posts are hidden <a href="#where-hidden" id="where-hidden"></a>

Tagged blog posts will be hidden from:

* Blog listing pages
* Blog post grids

***

### Important notes <a href="#notes" id="notes"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Restriction tags are case sensitive!**

Tags must match exactly between the theme settings and your blog posts. For example, if you set `Hide Blog` in theme settings, the blog tag must also be `Hide Blog`—`hide blog` or `HIDE BLOG` won't work.
